Madrid City Highlights Walking Tour

We really learnt about Madrid old city. Jose was funny, knowledgeable & tried engaging the group by asking questions and quizzes. We had a great time walking with him. Highly recommend this tour with Jose..

John was a very knowledgeable guide - and managed to keep us all very much entertained despite some unusually cold and wet weather. Tour was very informative and John’s knowledge of the Madrid history was excellent.

Our Guide John was excellent. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He provided some depth to the history of Spain which made it even more rewarding. It was a really enjoyable two hours.

Our tour guide, Sebastian, was a very charming guy. If you just want to spend a couple of hours walking around Madrid’s major sites, it is fine. On the other hand, if you want a meaty, well organized talk on Madrid’s evolution as a city and where it fits into the history of Spain this is not your tour.

Started my first day in Madrid with a walking tour. Sebastian was a great guide! He gave a very informative tour while keeping it light and entertaining.

We had an excellent walking tour with Jovan, it was fun and very informative. Jovan lead us through key sights, and provided lots of information and stories which made them come alive. The visit to the convent to get cookies was a highlight, and Jovan's recommendations on where to eat and visit after the tour were much appreciated! Thank you so much for adding to our enjoyment of Madrid.

Sebastian gave us a good combo of history, current events, and sights. He kept it interesting and was super nice! We had a great time, I recommend this to anyone new to Madrid!

Fantastic experience! We love going on walking tours to get the lay of the land, and this one was perfect. Our guide was knowledgable, friendly and gave us fantastic recommendations.

I took the 2.5-hour Madrid City Highlights Walking Tour with Sebastian, and even after 8 days of walking around the city, I’m so glad I joined. Despite being tired, I thoroughly enjoyed this tour thanks to Sebastian’s engaging and informative style. His English is excellent, which made a big difference for me—especially after struggling to understand other guides due to strong accents. Sebastian clearly knows Madrid inside and out, and he shared so much interesting history and insight that I hadn’t gotten from other tours I’d taken earlier in my trip. He’s a true expert and a fantastic guide. If you’re looking to explore Madrid’s highlights with someone who’s both knowledgeable and easy to follow, this tour is definitely worth it!

The walking and bus tour from Julia Travel was fantastic. The guide, Jorge made the excursion wonderful. His great humor, lovely and engaging personality was well received by all. The locations, the history, the storytelling made this a tour that should not be missed.

We enjoyed our tour of Madrid with Jovan! He was energetic, knowledgeable and thoughtful! We learned so much about the city that we would not have known without Jovan! Highly recommend this tour!

Sebastian was great, very funny and made all the info very clear. I was really tired going to this tour but even I could keep up. He also touches on present day Spanish culture which I really appreciated.

Jovan is an incredible story teller and the best person to welcome you to Madrid. He was flexible, helpful and extremely generous with his time. Genuinely the best tour guide I have ever had.

Our tour guide Enrique took us around the city in under 3 hours in a group of about a dozen of us, departing from Mayor Plaza at 2.00pm. As is always the way we try and do a tour early in our break just to give us an idea of the city layout and any recommendations. We got the usual mix of a history lesson from the Spanish Inquisition to King Alfonso and stop offs at some of the major sites such as Royal Opera House and the Royal Palace. It was a freetour where you obviously pay what you feel, it was an interesting tour and well worth looking out for.

Great tour, with lots of interesting and useful information about Madrid and its history. Tour guide was super helpful and really friendly, giving us lots of recommendations for the area! Worth every cent!

Great tour by Sebastian! We had an amazing time learning about the history of the city of Madrid and its now not so hidden secrets! He was a very engaging guide and the tour was very well-paced to suit people like us who do not know very much about the city. He also gave us great food and drink reccs (even places that don't require reservations months in advance)!

Sebastian was a great tour guide very knowledgeable and interesting. I didn’t know very much about the history of Madrid and I learned a lot.

Our guide, Sebastian, was fantastic. His knowledge of the city is second to none & he delivered the tour with great humour. Lots of information of the history of this great city but was delivered in a way that was accessible to all. Would definitely recommend.

Took the tour with Sebastián Saavedra, it was great. He was really funny and very nice and patient. It was a great experience for me personally and for the whole group. Even though I didn't know anyone, quickly we all found friends among the group and Sebatián helped us all feel welcomed. Thank you, I will always remember this day for the better!
